It’s not particularly clear that X played a significant role

Probably not. But it did raise Musk's prominence in the political realm, and might have been a crucial step towards the significant role that he played himself.

That wasn't the plan, to be sure. But whatever the plan was originally, it is now secondary.

I doubt it changed anyone’s mind. It’s just a rallying point for one side at this point.
i’ve heard tiktok and not x is the platform of blame
Probably not in Trump winning, but I can't imagine Musk having so much sway over Trump otherwise.
I think he would have more sway over trump if he had billions more dollars not lost on X tbh
